Rosie and Michael dated for almost three years before an eventful trip to visit family in Washington, DC, for Rosie’s birthday. Since the travel dates coincided with the city’s National Cherry Blossom Festival, Michael planned to pop the question while enjoying a scenic walk around the Tidal Basin. Once Michael found the perfect spot to propose, Rosie’s sister pretended to take a photo on her phone, but instead began recording video. “We took the fake photo, and I turned Rosie toward me so I could express my feelings for her,” Michael says. “She didn’t realize what was going on until I got down on one knee!”
